Since i have had a china manifold for all these years, it was time for a upgrade on the old RB25/30 in the R32...

So here are some pics of how it was made...

Its been since put on the car and it makes some decent power, had no idea how crappy the china manifold was! i picked up about 50hp on the same boost. now it makes 493hp on 1.2 bar.

Even the flange was made in house, it takes some time but its one very strong stainless manifold!

Was talking to the guy who made the manifold today... and then his friend came up to me.... I told him the old china manifold i had for many years, and now the new manifold made alot of extra power....

he had a big smile on his face... and said.. "now you know the difference of something made in china or something Indian made"

Sorry i been a bit lazy in this thread latly.. Will have some more cool stuff soon.... atm we got a few nissans in the shop, 2 us spec 240sx's... and a r33 i have some triggering issues with....

also the drag pro series is back this month!

So today a Supra came in that i tuned last year, the guy sold it to someone in Oman, owned it a week and they screwed with it, changed the plugs and done something with the fuel system..

So after doing some investigation we put the old plugs back in, whacked the car on the dyno and it was leaning out, checked the pumps and worked out 1 was not working, it has a big fuel system, 2 044's and a greddy marked swirl tank.

So i quoted the guy for 2 new 044's then when we were installing them we realised they were not a direct fit, so I compared the new pumps to the old ones and what do you know!!! CHINA!!!

Finally found the china 044 pumps that I heard about and compared them together, there are quite a few differences, the quality you can tell straight away, the pressure end has a smaller outlet and the bolt is smaller also, the + and - on the other side where you connect the power, well it barely looks like a + anyway, they were also not marked with any serial numbers or model's or anything, and there was a considerable amount of weight difference between the 2.

Here are some pictures, luckily the car welcomed the new pumps and no engine damage was done this time, but it needed a full re-tune.

2 fake china's on the ends and the genuine 044 in the middle.

Its good to be aware of this, the 2 of them together did flow enough power for 600hp at rear wheels on a 2jz with a t51r on lowish boost, but whats the point when they can fail anytime?

So yeah had to share this with everyone!

so i found this pic on facebook, someone in Georgia made it... its pretty funny, they are finally catching on...

The last picture was taken at the same event where i posted a pic of my r33 a few pages back, it was called "Drift King" that was the winner.

Good ole Georgia :)

ohhh and took the R32 out on the F1 track again for some drifting...

This needed to be posted in Forced Induction why?

hehehee... Jono allways had a way with words...

cheers mate =) even if it was lagged a few years!

must be runnin a 500mm compressor tonight :)

Basically without SAU, my GLT-00Y and all the adventures all those years, I have had more then my fair share of noob moments on here, i remember i joined here because i got run off the road by a big semi trailer and smashed 2 of my nice crome wheels back in 2002 only weeks after buying the car.... without SAU id never be where I am today.

Was looking for some stock wheels and info on other wheels that fit....

Anyways... cheers to SAU and all its members, big or small... short or long... black or white... ummmm yuddah yuddah yuddah... Just keep flying that Nissan flag! :)

Man just put off going to the movies to read this haha, you are a legend.

Just reading back a few pages and you said you purchased a r33 GTR so what cars do you currently own over there now? And which one is your favourite I love your 33 gtst let's hope it makes a comeback

I liked Paul's quote better:

"...the car has a turbo and is performing...so id say thats forced induction performance"

Cracked me up when i first read it.

And +1 on the Guilt toy = legend :-)

yeah yeah yeah.. ok ok the cheques are in the mail... lol!! settle down

SO I changed the front bumper on the 32 to a gtr one, but it still has the gts carbon bonnet...

here is a pic... fail or no fail? its starting to grow on me but it does look a bit off i think....

post-1240-0-72440800-1336934452_thumb.jpg

the weather is starting to get warm now, and the Z don't like the heat very much..... but she is coping... its only 42 every day i don't know what will happen on a 50+ day

  • 2 weeks later...

some updates....

the cops impounded my 350z for a month, because its too loud... its not even that loud... but anyway i should be able to get it back tomorrow (got some connections who can make it happen) so ive had a car impounded in georgia and in the uae now, but it never happened in Australia... lol

so its back to dailying the r32

anyway I think i have pretty much taken everyones theory about pump gas and destroyed it... i remember a really well known tuner telling me that you cannot go more then 600hp on pump fuel....

the black nissan patrol is back, and tuned it up again and now on 100% pump gas with no water meth injection or anything its pushing out 1065hp at the wheels on 2 bar, its a very soft tune because the injectors are maxxed out up top :(

hopefully putting a set of id2000's early next month and a water methanol kit and see what happens.

sooo yeah... over 1000rwhp whats that.. 1200hp at the engine? with pure pump gas at 45c a litre. cannot believe that shit. if you can tune cars on pump 98 like this why would you ever need race gas?

post-1240-0-59858100-1337716684_thumb.jpg

Thats awesome man well done.

I dont think that 600hp is the limit for pump i think its more the risk with pushing big numbers on pump, due to the octane.

Do u feel the pump over there is a higher octane than our 98 in Aus?

  • 4 weeks later...

I am going back to Georgia for a week tonight, there is a car i need to tune there, some WRX, they are payin me for it all expenses paid so its a good excuse to get away from the 40 - 45deg c heat.

will post some pics... will be a shock to the system going back there thats for sure.

they opened the new race track there so it will be interesting, and get to see some old friends

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
